Where are you going?
A chill ran down his spine from behind, and a fair, beautiful hand landed on Helian Junmo's shoulder.
With a stern expression, he turned his head and said, "I'll sleep on the floor."
To be honest, Helian Junmo was supposed to sleep alone that night, but Rong Shang told him there was another room available for him to sleep in.
Helian Junmo believed it, but when he woke up, she was in his own bed.
In response, Helian Junmo said, "..."
He dodged her hand and stood up.
Behind her, Rong Shang also sat up from the bed. Just as she was about to say something to him, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Earl Allen has arrived."
Allen?
Just from the name, Rong Shang's expression changed slightly, and her brows furrowed.
Not far away, Helian Junmo had already spread the quilt on the floor and was about to lie down to rest when Rong Shang's voice came again, "Why don't you come up and sleep? I have to go out for a bit."
Startled, Helian Junmo raised his eyes to look at her, his deep eyes filled with contemplation.
But this time, Rong Shang actually got out of bed.
Just as she was putting on her coat and draping it over her shoulders, the servant's voice came again, "Your Highness, Earl Allen requests an audience."
"I see."
Bertie's appearance during the day made Rong Shang more vigilant. At this moment, she dared not stray too far from Helian Junmo, so she asked Allen to wait for her in the hall.
The castle covers a vast area, and the vampires living there are divided into several tribes. Bo Yuan is in the west, Allen is in the east, her brothers are in the south, and the prince is in the north.
Thinking about it, it's already the middle of the night, and she wonders why Allen came to see her.

In the dead of night, the blood-red full moon was shrouded in dark clouds.
On the bed, Helian Junmo turned over again, his deep eyes wide open. He stared at the ceiling and the crystal chandelier above him, showing no signs of sleepiness.
At this moment, everything around him quieted down, but it became noisy in Helian Junmo's ears.
Amidst the cacophony, he heard vampires sucking human blood everywhere, he heard the servants downstairs discussing how much they wanted to drink his blood, and he also heard the conversation between Bo Yuan and Earl Allen in the hall outside.
【My dearest princess, it's been so long since we last met, Allen has missed you terribly.】
What brings you here so late?
"Hmm... I heard that Her Highness the Princess has taken in another male concubine, and he's even found among humans. Allen is curious and wants to see him for himself."
Oh, really? Too bad he's already asleep; you won't have a chance to see him tonight.
That's a real shame.
...
It seems a bit noisy tonight.
Unable to sleep, Helian Junmo rolled his dark eyes around and simply sat up in bed.
In the dimly lit bedroom, the heavy curtains in front of the window were already drawn, but Helian Junmo's eyes could still see creatures that ordinary people could not see.
In my mind, time seemed to have rewound considerably.
That year, he was only seven years old.
His mother's sudden death left him puzzled as to why vampires would target his family.
It wasn't until later that he learned they weren't an ordinary family, but rather a blood hunter clan that had hunted vampires for generations.
In this world, Blood Hunters are the ones who must never reveal their identities. Once exposed, they face a near-certain death, just like his mother.
He was born with the ability to hear the voices of all things in the world, including the human heart.
